Commercial drive course
This course explains the importance of having commercial drive. It will help you to develop this key behaviour to achieve positive outcomes in your role
Using a commercial mindset, demonstrating drive, and enabling change to create value
Commercial drive is about applying a business and customer-focused approach, and demonstrating the commitment to deliver results that create value for organisations.
As people professionals, we have a responsibility to ensure we focus on the things that create the most value for people and business. This means identifying and delivering on the people issues, opportunities and risks that will have the most impact on the performance and success of organisations.
It also means working in a way which is customer and business-focused, and developing resilience and a sense of responsibility. Understanding the financial implications of work and proving the business case for proposals – whilst remaining resilient despite challenges, and delivering outcomes with business benefits – enables us to create value within our work. We also play a critical role in enabling people change and transition to maximise benefit and mitigate risk.
This behaviour particularly supports the core knowledge areas of Business acumen and Change.
